GB's Fearnley and Dart complete superb comeback wins
Britons Jacob Fearnley and Harriet Dart both produce remarkable comeback wins to reach the US Open second round.
Two British players have achieved remarkable comebacks to secure wins in the US Open singles tournament. Jacob Fearnley, playing as a lucky loser, overcame a 5-2 deficit in the fourth set to defeat Martin Landaluce 4-6, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Fearnley's success was built on a simple philosophy of "just point after point." Meanwhile, Harriet Dart, who had not won a main-draw singles match at a major since the 2025 Australian Open, triumphed over Peyton Stearns 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Dart credited her coach Marion Bartoli for her guidance and support. Both Fearnley and Dart advance to the second round, where they will face Tomas Etcheverry and Marie Bouzkova, respectively.
